Galio vs Brand

Confidence mediumUpdated Jun 9, 2026

Overview

Use (W) and (E) to punish Brand's short-range approach and protect your ADC from poke.
Control bot-side brush to deny (Q) stun angles and secure safe engage windows.
Prioritize wave states that allow your ADC to step up safely and enable your (R) roam or counter-engage.

Trading pattern

Engage with (E) and (W) layered CC only when your ADC can follow immediately.
Hold (W) to peel Brand's poke and protect your ADC from burst combos.
Punish Brand's missed (Q) or (W) by denying brush and forcing his ADC back.

Danger windows

Respect Brand's empowered (Q) stun after he applies Blaze; avoid clustered positioning.
Beware of (W) poke when your (W) and (E) are on cooldown.
Avoid grouped fights post-level 6 before your (R) is available to counter Brand's ultimate.

Early game

Contest level 2 with your ADC to disrupt Brand's poke and stun setup.
Hold brush control early to prevent Brand from landing empowered (Q) on your ADC.
Push or maintain a neutral wave to create roam windows and reduce Brand's poke impact.

Power spikes

Level 2 unlocks your (W) and (E) for strong short-range trades and peel.
Level 6 (R) greatly increases your map impact and ability to turn skirmishes.
First durability or AP utility item enhances your survivability and trade threat.

Win conditions

Use (R) to join or initiate side fights, enabling your ADC and turning skirmishes.
Deny Brand's ADC access by controlling brush and forcing Brand to miss his stun.
Set river vision and time roams after pushing waves to secure dragon and mid pressure.
